Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0605928A2] An electronics-controlled consumer appliance has various hardwared actuator elements for through actuation thereof driving the appliance from a present state to an associated respective destination state. It also has audio output for under control of selected present state-actuation combinations outputting a specific audio specifier. By way of improvement the specifier comes in a two-tier organization: in an upper tier it outputs an explanatory audio comment and in a lower tier it outputs an extra-linguistic audio signalization. Furthermore, the device allows for selectively and reversibly stepping between said two tiers.
